First Descents programs are all about having fun, getting outside, and pushing your limits through kayaking, rock climbing and other outdoor activities. Our camps are structured and designed with you in mind. There's no need to have kayaking or climbing experience. We know your body has been through a lot - we don't have any requirements for fitness. We encourage you to challenge yourself, but won't push you past your capabilities. Our programs are free to all who are accepted. All you need to bring is what you'd typically pack for a trip. First Descents has all the gear and necessary equipment to keep you safe, warm and relatively dry. We'll provide everything you need and teach you the skills, you just show up! Your week at camp will be full of activity but you'll have plenty of time to relax too. When we're not on the river or climbing, we hang out, hike, play volleyball, listen to music, etc. You'll get to know the other participants well!
